[Mort appreciates the fact that the decorations have been stepped up a notch, but they're still lacking. so he's down in the lobby, tying cornstalks to the ends of the banisters and around the columns. some of them look a little bloody. and he's humming to himself, half-singing with the song in his head]And you may ask yourself - am I right, or

Bloody cornstalks. Very creepy.

[toolshedarsenal]

Hey, thanks. [smiles!]

[trulyterrible]

Well the rest of the decorations were kind of an embarrassment.

[toolshedarsenal]

True. ... I thought I could spice it up a little. [winks]

[trulyterrible]

[laughs] How kind.

I don't get what drawing an outline in chalk would do, though.

[toolshedarsenal]

That's what police do at murder scenes where I'm from. They outline the bodies.

[trulyterrible]

Oh. Sounds messy.

[toolshedarsenal]

Not half as messy as what they usually put the outline around.

[trulyterrible]

Oh, I can only imagine~

[toolshedarsenal]

Imagination's a powerful thing. [amused]

[trulyterrible]

Of course a writer would say that.

Are you planning on adding anything aside from the cornstalks and outlining some unfortunate person's body?

[toolshedarsenal]

Of course he would. But does my bias make it any less true, hmm?

Eh, not yet. Maybe tomorrow, if things don't get a little less cutesy.
